In just over a week, Donald Trump could be elected President of the United States.

But rewind to 1992, and the man who could soon have the nuclear launch codes had his hands on something else - a bag full of balls.

In one of the more bizarre clips you will find on the internet, Trump joined Jimmy Greaves and Ian St John to make the draw for the 1992 League Cup quarter finals - then known as The Rumblelows Cup.

And it was Trump himself who pulled Boro out the hat.

From the plush surroundings of Trump Towers, the tycoon drew Boro out to play Peterborough.

Sadly he didn’t treat viewers to an attempt at pronouncing Middlesbrough live on air.

But in the surreal segment, Trump shares a joke with Saint and Greavsie about ex-Villa chairman Doug Ellis’ house, before the billionaire hints he may head over to the UK to watch a couple of the ties.

It’s unknown if the billionaire did cross the pond to watch either the first clash, a 1-1 draw at Peterborough, or if he made it to Ayresome Park to see Stuart Ripley slot in the only goal of the replay.

Boro came close to a trip to Wembley that season, narrowly losing over two legs to Manchester United.

But Trump’s pivotal role in Boro’s cup run that year isn’t his only link to Teesside.

Free frontman Paul Rodgers threatened the Republican candidate with legal action after he used his hit ‘All Right Now’ on the campaign trail.

The Middlesbrough musician Tweeted: “Permission to use ‘All Right Now’ was never sought for or granted by me. My lawyer is dealing with this matter - Paul.”
